​Life as a human isn't easy. We will all normally encounter so many different experiences and challenging times, and with the variety of emotions we feel, it can be overwhelming to say the least.

Being human and having the human experience is by no means an easy pathway, but what I'm going to cover today is how this can be made easier, how we can start to view situations from a different perspective.

Firstly I'll start from the knowledge I have gathered through the vast amount of books I've read, listening to spiritual talkers and through my own connections and conversations with Angels, Guides and Spirit.1- We are all eternal!

You may already know this, but this is so important to understand during your time here. The strains and stresses of life can come from pressures and fears related to the material world and related to the future. For example the fear the media puts out can really make people live in a fearful way, worrying that they may end up in tragedy, the same way that other people have whom they've see on the news. Release these fears now and realise that you are eternal, and that you will normally only pass onto the other side when the time is right for you. This is a hard concept to grasp for some, especially if you have loved one's you've lost in what seemed like such unfair circumstances. But as you understand the eternity of the soul, you may realise that death is not the end, it is just the rebirth into a new body, returning home to a beautiful place and being reunited with the loved one's on the other side whom you had to part with when you incarnated here.

2- Many events in your life you planned out before you came here

This isn't meaning all events, since we have been given the gift of free will and choice. Events can change in some respects, however most of the more larger events in our life, are pre-planned. Sometimes it may take people longer to reach a certain event, it's kind of like choosing whether to take the short cut or take the long way around! but in some way or another the events will normally unfold if we follow our intuition. As well as the more challenging life events, these events can include promotions, opportunities opening up, having a family and meeting partners and friends etc. Life is a learning process for the advancement of our soul, for some it is also a place where they've came to help other people too, to be a guide and a shining light to humanity. But normally from what I've learnt, even as a human guide/light worker, you will also have life experiences you'll endure to give you the strength and insight that your conscious/human mind needs to be able to be in the right place to help others, you are also learning and growing through the life path you've chosen to help others.

Through struggles comes the ability to find strength, and this is something that all people will experience at some point in their lives. But know that although there will always be life events, both challenging and good, they are there to help you grow, progress and enhance your soul's experience. The most important part of this is to have fun and to not take life too seriously!

3) We are pure divine love

The reason I mention this, is because it is an important understanding that can help life to be easier. As you awaken to the fact that you are pure divine love, you will realise that life is easier. If you encounter negativity from others, start to bring awareness to the thoughts that this brings up in your mind and start to gain control of these thoughts. Anger, resentment, jealousy, dislike, annoyance etc, are all natural human emotions, yet you can start to choose which of these emotions you allow to be within you. Awareness is the key here, become aware of your conscious thoughts and question them as they come. Perhaps someone annoyed you and you have feelings of anger. Instead of going with this anger question it, ask yourself questions such as "where is this anger coming from, this situation now or an experience in my past?" "how can I now let this anger go, so that it doesn't effect me?" "is this anger productive in my life?"Visualise releasing the anger and letting it go by breathing out the anger and breathing in peace and love. This may be difficult to do at first, but with practise you will start to feel calmer, more centered and at peace within.

4) Follow your heart and your dreams!

This is so important because within your heart and your intuition you will find your life path, the place where you will know and feel what it is you're here to do in life. As well as the life events we go through for growth, we will often have a purpose or a theme in life, this could be so many different things. For example some people are here to heal others (or themselves), some are here to be family focused, some are here to work with the public to bring peace in their hearts, some are here to help children, some are here to bring art to people, and the list goes on! You may wonder, but what is my purpose? The answer is within your soul, and the way to access the answer is to ask yourself, what do you love doing? What is it you do and time passes so fast? What do you feel passionate about? Start to become aware of what you love and what brings you joy within. This can help you to start tapping into your what you truly wish to do.

One regret that older people had when it was there time to passing, is that they didn't regret the things they did do but the things they didn't! So live life, enjoy life and have fun. Follow your heart and take action on what feels right within, do not allow fears nor negative thoughts to hold you back from achieving what you truly want to achieve. You have the power of the universe within you, you are more than what you've ever realised you are. So write down some goals, short term and long term, and start ticking them off as you complete them.

Being so sensitive and an empath isn't always an easy life, as not only do you have to deal with your feelings but the feelings of all those around you.

As well as it being a gift it is also so challenging at times because of feeling emotions on such a deep level. It's hard at times and often Having alone time is so important, to give yourself time to just be you and to not have energy of other people around you, to give yourself a break.

1) Take some time out to meditate and really connect within, ask your mind, body and soul what emotions you're holding onto on all levels, some may be from recent situations or some from the past. Ask for these emotions to be brought gently to the surface at a time and pace that is right and manageable for you right now. You may find that you cry, or you may feel different sensations, the aim is to start releasing all emotions that you've held onto that weren't always yours in the first place (and some that are yours where you've been effected so deeply by situations).

2) Breathe in deeply and as you exhale release all these past hurts, emotions and feelings and ask for your spiritual helpers/Angels or just use visualisations to watch the emotions be cleared .

3) Try to aim and do this for at least 10 minutes a day, when you first start it can be a little challenging because you have to experience those emotions briefly before releasing them. But in the long run it will be worthwhile and your energy levels will start to increase.

Salt is an amazing cleanser and Epsom salt is a great way to cleanse your energy field and body (I add 2 cups to a running bath) and then have one after I've done the releasing meditation. I hope this helps!

I decided to write this article as I know that allot of people who are Empaths, Lightworkers and Sensitives have had the problem of feeling stuck or may feel overwhelmed by human life sometimes. I've been there too, quite a few times!

As a Empath/Lightworker, not only do you have to cope with the forever ending emotions that you're feeling from those around you (and the collective consciousness) but you may also be trying to meet the demands of everyday living such as paying the bills, maintaining health, looking after the family, working in a job, caring for friends/relatives, working towards your dreams, spiritual development, following your life purpose, the list is endless.

There can be allot to think about! And as an Empath and Lightworker you may also struggle with the concept of being human in the first place, as when you're so connected with your inner spirit and the higher vibrations of conciousness, every day living as a human may be a challenge at times; even simple things such as keeping up with good nutrition and the daily demands of life can be tasks that may seem daunting. And it can often feel like there's always SO much to do and think about in the modern day world, it can be easy to become overwhelmed with tasks, therefore it can lead one towards procrastinating and putting things off. As well as this you may even feel drained of energy sometimes.

So this is why I've put together some easy to follow steps to help you start to become focused, to prioritise and to help you become unstuck, because I do truly know what this is like! I've spent the last few years trying to get together my own spiritually based business whilst working in a job to pay the bills and trying to run a home/family and also dealing with challenges from outside circumstances on the way.

Below are some steps that have really helped myself and others to become focused on life!

1) Relax! You don't have to get everything all done at once! This is the trap that many can fall into, thinking about doing too much at once, and in doing so you may find your energy is scattered in different areas and this can leave you feeling exhausted. As well as this the overwhelming thoughts of having to do everything can cause you to put things off maybe often saying "I'll do it tomorrow!". Relax, gather your thoughts together and give yourself time to just be. Meditate, connect with your Angels and Guides and give some time towards your divine connection, for it is here that you will find peace, calmness and inspiration. This peace will then help you to unwind from the daily stress of life, enabling you to be in the present moment rather than in yesterday or tomorrow and this will actually make you feel like you have more time! As when you focus on being in the present, rather than being in the worry of yesterday or tomorrow, time will not run away with you so much. Then you can move on to step number 2.

2) Prioritise. I know I often mention about this, but writing a list of what you want to do is key to getting your ideas from your mind out onto paper, and in doing so you may find your life does not seem so daunting, or you can at least then start to focus on what YOU truly want to do and achieve in your life. After you've written this list, number each task in the order of priority with 1 being the first task, 2 being the second task, 3 being the third task until you have each task numbered. And don't put pressure on yourself to get this all done. Just pick up the tasks as and when you have time, step into the flow and enjoy the process! Focus on the moment of now and if your schedule allows it and you have the energy to do so, act on your current task in the present moment.

3) Ask your Angels/Guides for help!You may be doing this anyway, but have you asked about specific areas? For example, I got to a point where I was finding it really hard to prepare healthy meals, my mind was just so overwhelmed and scattered that I lost focus. So I put it up to my spirit helpers and my guidance was given, I was guided towards purchasing a smoothie maker and now every morning I have a quick healthy breakfast which contains lots of nutrition, and what's great is my daughter loves this too. Guidance may come in different forms for you personally, but somehow in some way you will be helped out. You can ask about any area of your life whether it's your life purpose, career, finances, relationships or anything else, however small, that you need help with. Ask and the guidance will come to you!

4) Have daily actions. But what I will also mention about this, is to not have it overly regimented or put pressure on yourself. The most important part of this is to focus on the present moment, so try not to worry so much about the timing. The way that you can do this is to just write down 2 things you'd like to regularly bring into your daily schedule. For example the 2 things for me are a morning smoothie and mediation. These could be anything for you, perhaps exercise, reading a book, working on your life purpose, doing your favourite hobby, spending time with your animals or anything else that you would like to bring into your life. Once you've established your first 2 actions (through maintaining them for 28 days) you can then bring in another one. Don't pressurise yourself about this and if you miss a day, don't let this worry you and just continue the next day!

5) Keep a journal/notebook with your thoughts in it. As an Empath and Lightworker you may be dealing with so many different emotions that it can sometimes be difficult to understand the difference between your own feelings and the feelings of other people. In keeping a notebook and writing your feelings down, you can then reflect upon your inner processes and this will help you to become more clear about what is yours and what is other people's feelings. As well as this, you'll also be releasing the feelings you may have built up through the day. A clearer mind will then be more productive for moving forward in your life and this will also help you to gain a clearer focus of what you truly want. You can also use this notebook to write down any inspirations, ideas or messages that you receive from your spiritual helpers as this will be divine guidance for you to act upon.

One more thing I'll also mention is the importance of being grounded. When you're on a high vibration it can be easy to become ungrounded, so grounding is an important part of being able to live on the earth so that you can deal with everyday living and so that you can also bring your ideas and inspirations into reality, rather than them just staying in your mind. Please see my article here for more information about grounding.

So as a summary here are the steps in a nutshell-1) Relax, give yourself time!2) Prioritise, write a list of things you want to achieve and number them in order of importance3) Ask your Angels/Guides for help with areas you're struggling with4) Bring in 2 daily actions (such as exercise/meditation/hobbies etc)5) Keep a journal/notebook of your feelings/thoughts and messages you receive from your Angels and Guides.

I hope that these tips have helped you, and always remember that you can achieve whatever you put your heart into! You have the power within you to reach for your dreams, but sometimes you have to start somewhere even if this is just small steps. Remember that even small steps will eventually lead you to new horizons and new opportunities. So relax, release the pressure and know that divine timing is also at play, everything will come together as and when it is meant to.

Step into the synchronised dance of life and you will see doors open up in front of you in wonderful ways. You are ready now to take those next steps, so grab yourself a piece of paper and pen and start writing that list of what you truly want to do in your life (then prioritise it!)

Do you ever feel that there is something else you could be doing in your life or perhaps feel stuck at times with moving forwards?

Within our society, we have become conditioned from a very early age about the goals we 'should' have and what we 'should' achieve in our lives. Our spiritual and emotional well being is often not included within the material focuses that are pumped into us from an early age, and many people may feel an emptiness because of having to constantly achieve material goals, which are void of the depth that our souls seek. This is not to say that some material goals are negative, quite the contrary as we need the material goals to create the balance in our lives as a human being with physical needs. But it is the spiritual and emotional welfare of people that is often left neglected and unfulfilled within the society many of us are living in. So today is the time to start taking responsibility for your life, for your emotional well being and for your spiritual development. No longer be a condition of your surrounding circumstances, do not allow your thoughts to run away with you, start by becoming an observer of them. Through observing, you will gain an awareness of your internal processes and thought patterns. This awareness will then give you the power to change your thought patterns into thoughts that will manifest blessings, love and positivity into your life.

You see what is great about this, is that your thoughts create your feelings, so positive thoughts equals positive feelings! Where attention goes energy flows, so whatever you focus your thoughts on, will manifest within your reality. So take responsibility now to really start using your thoughts to create a happier life and remember that happiness is a journey, not a destination that starts in the present moment. To reach a sense of spiritual fulfilment it is also important to become aware of the needs of your spirit. This can be achieved through giving your spirit the chance to emerge, through having more control over your thoughts. As your spirit may have been over shadowed by the many thoughts running through your mind on a daily basis.

To allow your spirit to emerge, spend more time in nature, as her energy can support this process, use mindfulness meditation to calm your mind and connect within. Using any form of relaxation that helps you to reach a sense of calmness in both mind and body can also help this process. Also remember that we are so much more than what society conditions us into thinking; we are creators, eternal beings and manifestors. Our energy will always carry on, and this life is only a small experience compared to the eternity of our spirit, however it is a chance for us to reach spiritual fulfilment and to create positive change in our life and the lives of others.

﻿It can be difficult sometimes being such a sensitive person in a challenging world. Feeling other people's energy on such a deep level, can sometimes feel like a burden and can make you feel as if you're drowning in a sea of conflicting feelings and emotions. But there is a way through this and there is also much strength that can grow from the sensitivity that you have.

You see, it is in fact a gift, and when you bring your life into balance, you will find that there are ways of embracing this gift without having so much of the pain that accompanies it. What the Angels say about this, is that sensitivity has been given to you because you are strong enough to be able to cope with it. As well as using this gift for your life purpose to help others in the world, your spirit is also growing through the experiences of what you encounter with this empathic ability. Here are some steps to help you bring your life into balance as a sensitive/empath. 1- Love yourself, give yourself some time and pamper yourself. Schedule this into your daily routine. Place your hands on your heart and send yourself love before you go to sleep. 2- Meditate daily, even if this is doing something which is quiet time out such as creative hobbies or exercise. This time out helps you to connect with the needs of your soul. If you can do a daily cleansing and energising visualisation at the end of the day, this helps with releasing energy and emotions you may have picked up during the day. This only needs to take around 5 minutes. 3- Try to spend your time around positive people and say no to demands that don't feel right or resonate with the needs of your spirit. And don't feel bad afterwards! The people who you surround yourself with are important, especially being spiritually sensitive, so try to associate with people who make you feel happy. 4- Release all guilt. As a sensitive you may feel that you have to do so much for others, and you may be prone to a sense of guilt for situations which are out of your control. Let this go now! Ask the Angels to help you with this and do some deep cleansing meditations, or if you wish, visit a local healer. As it's now time to take control of your life, and guilt is not a productive emotion for your spirit or life purpose. 5- Believe in yourself and create daily goals that you want to achieve. Write a list of what you want and try to stick to it without being distracted from outside circumstances. As a sensitive/empath you may find that other people's needs have taken priority and yours have taken a back seat, but now is the time for you to embrace your gifts and share them with the world! If you ever feel that you haven't achieved what you wanted too, don't beat yourself up! Just start again. Remember to make your goals small and achievable to start with. If you're unsure about what you want, focus on what brings you joy and makes you feel happy, and schedule spending some time for doing this every day. 6- Make one healthy change (such as eating more healthy or moving your body more) and maintain this for 28 days (after 28 days it will become part of your routine and you can then add others if you wish). As a sensitive it can be quite common to use food or unhealthy distractions to try and suppress the emotions that you feel from everything around you. But there are other ways to cope with these feelings, and this can include introducing more healthy habits to replace the unhealthy ones, as well as releasing the emotions through daily cleansing meditations. Don't put pressure on yourself to do too much, too soon as this can result in being overwhelmed, especially with being sensitive. Being healthy in mind and body can help you to be in a balanced place to achieve your goals. But don't put off acting on your goals until you have a healthy lifestyle, act on your goals today! 7- Write all the above action steps down on a piece of paper and place it somewhere you can see it easily. So start putting these steps into practise and you will see how your life becomes more balanced and organised. If you wish, to start with you might just want to bring in one of these steps, or you may want to embrace them all.
